NAJEE HARRIS SET TO PLAY FIRST GAME SINCE ACHILLES TEAR
PUBLISHED Aug 28, 2026, 1:58 PM ET
New York Giants running back Najee Harris is expected to play against the New York Jets, marking his first game appearance since suffering a torn Achilles tendon during Week Three of the previous season while playing for the Los Angeles Chargers. According to ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler, Harris enters tonight's matchup following eleven months of intensive rehabilitation. Prior to his major injury, Harris spent four productive seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he consistently rushed for at least one thousand yards each year without missing a single contest. The Giants signed Harris during free agency with the expectation that he can successfully regain his previous durability and elite production level. The upcoming performance serves as a crucial evaluation benchmark for both the athlete and the franchise as the new professional football season approaches.
